1 INTRODUCTION Standard Bank Plc has commissioned Bureau Veritas
Certification to validate its 1st CDM programme of Activity (CPA)
Energy Efficiency in Chiller Plant at CAPRICORN Building located at
1 Science Park Road, The Capricorn, Singapore Science Park II,
Singapore 117528 (CAPRICORN CPA) (hereafter called CPA) in 1
Science Park Road, The Capricorn, Singapore Science Park II,
Singapore 117528. This report summarizes the findings of the
validation of the project, performed on the basis of UNFCCC
criteria, as well as criteria given to provide for consistent
project operations, monitoring and reporting. 1.1 Objective The
validation serves as project design verification and is a
requirement of all projects. The validation is an independent third
party assessment of the project design. In particular, the
project's baseline, the monitoring plan (MP), and the projects
compliance with relevant UNFCCC and host country criteria are
validated in order to confirm that the project design, as
documented, is sound and reasonable, and meets the stated
requirements and identified criteria. Validation is a requirement
for all CDM projects and is seen as necessary to provide assurance
to stakeholders of the quality of the project and its intended
generation of certified emission reductions (CERs). UNFCCC criteria
refer to Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, the CDM rules and
modalities and the subsequent decisions by the CDM Executive Board,
as well as the host country criteria. 1.2 Scope The validation
scope is defined as an independent and objective review of the
project design document, the projects baseline study and monitoring
plan and other relevant documents. The information in these
documents is reviewed against Kyoto Protocol requirements, UNFCCC
rules and associated interpretations. The validation is not meant
to provide any consulting towards the Client. However, stated
requests for clarifications and/or corrective actions may provide
input for improvement of the project design. 1.3 Validation team

METHODOLOGY The overall val idation, from Contract Review to
Validat ion Report & Opinion, was conducted using Bureau
Veritas Cert i f icat ion internal procedures. In order to ensure
transparency, a val idation protocol was customized for the
project, according to the version 01.2 of the Clean Development
Mechanism Validat ion and Verif icat ion Manual, issued by the
Executive Board at its 55 th meeting on 30/07/2010. The protocol
shows, in a transparent manner, criter ia (requirements), means of
validat ion and the results from validat ing the identif ied
criteria. The validat ion protocol serves the fol lowing purposes:
It organizes, detai ls and clarif ies the requirements a CDM
Programme
of Activit ies is expected to meet; It ensures a transparent val
idation process where the validator wil l
document how a particular requirement has been validated and the
result of the validat ion.
The completed validat ion protocol is enclosed in Appendix A to
this report. 2.1 Review of Documents The real case Project Design
Document (CPA-DD) (Capricorn CPA) submitted by Standard Bank Plc
and additional background documents related to the project design
and baseline, i.e. country Law, Guidelines for Completing the
Project Design Document (CPA-DD), Approved methodology, Kyoto
Protocol, Clarifications on Validation Requirements to be Checked
by a Designated Operational Entity were reviewed. To address Bureau
Veritas Certification corrective action and clarification requests,
Standard Bank Plc revised the CPA-DD and resubmitted it on
10/12/2011 for re-webhosting. The validation findings presented in
this report relate to the project as described in the CPA-DD
version 2 dated on 18 /07/ 2011. 2.2 Follow-up Interviews On

(a) The Coordinating and Management Entity (CME) have made
mistakes that will influence the ability of the project activity to
achieve real, measurable additional emission reductions;
(b) The CDM Programme of Activities requirements have not been
met; (c) There is a risk that emission reductions cannot be
monitored or calculated.
The validation team may also use the term Clarification Request
(CL), if information is insufficient or not clear enough to
determine whether the applicable CDM requirements have been met. To
guarantee the transparency of the verification process, the
concerns raised are documented in more detail in the verification
protocol in Appendix A. 2.4 Internal Technical Review The
validation report underwent a Internal Technical Review (ITR)
before requesting registration of the project activity. The ITR is
an independent process performed to examine thoroughly that the
process of validation has been carried out in conformance with the
requirements of the validation scheme as well as internal Bureau
Veritas Certification procedures. The Lead Verifier provides a copy
of the validation report to the reviewer, including any necessary
validation documentation. The reviewer reviews the submitted
documentation for conformance with the validation scheme. This will
be a comprehensive review of all documentation generated during the
validation process. When performing an Internal Technical Review,
the reviewer ensures that:
- The validation activity has been performed by the team by
exercising utmost diligence and complete adherence to the CDM rules
and requirements.
- The review encompasses all aspects related to the project
which includes project design, baseline, additionality, monitoring
plans and emission reduction calculations, internal quality
assurance systems of the project participant as well as the project
activity, review of the stakeholder comments and responses, closure
of CARs, CLs and FARs during the validation exercise, review of
sample documents.
The reviewer compiles clarification questions for the Lead
Verifier and Validation Team and discusses these matters with Lead
Verifier. After the agreement of the responses on the Clarification
Request from the Lead Verifier as well as the PP(s) the finalized
validation report is accepted for further processing such as
uploading on the UNFCCC webpage.

Singapore which will result into the reduction of GHG emissions due
to burning of fossil fuel during power generation activity. The
Capricorn CPA involves the replacement of the inefficient air
cooled chiller having specific energy consumption rating of 1.391
kW/TR with energy efficient water cooled chiller having specific
energy consumption rating of 0.59 kW/TR (Which is better than 0.65
kW/TR, PoA criteria for inclusion) in Capricorn building which
belongs to the HSBC Institutional Trust Services Singapore Limited
as Trustee of Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust. They will be
the implementer of this Capricorn CPA. Existing / baseline air
conditioning system consists of 6 units of 300TR air cooled
chillers located at the roof top of Capricorn Building and this CPA
project is implemented to replace these inefficient chillers with
following new equipments:
1. 3 units of 400TR with R123 refrigerant water-cooled chillers
2. Cooling towers with total 1512 TR (9 cells x 168 TR per cell) 3.
3 units of new chilled water pumps and 3 units of new condenser
water pumps 4. Electrical Control system for variable speed drive
on motor for all new pumps and
cooling towers 5. New 18 condenser water pipes for cooling
towers and 6. Energy management and Monitoring System to monitor
the data

B of Simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM
project activities. The additionality is demonstrated at the PoA
level using Attachment A of Appendix B of simplified modalities and
procedure for small-scale CDM project Activities. The most
appropriate barrier selected is the Prevailing practice barrier and
detailed justification of additionality due to prevailing practice
in the host country Singapore is provided in the PoA-DD section
A.4.3 and it is extended to all CPAs. Based on the description of
the Prevailing practice barrier, the following key criteria are
identified to demonstrate CPA additionality: - Each CPA must
demonstrate that in the
absence of the guidance of the PoA it would not have been able
to achieve a chiller plant system efficiency of 0.65kW/TR measured
at 1-minuteIntervals based on the integrated design-approach for
the retrofit of the old Chiller plant systems.
- Each CPA implements the proposed voluntary measure of the PoA
and is not a result of any other policy or measure applied within
the boundary of the PoA hence, it would not exist in the absence of
the PoA
- Each CPA increases enforcement of the mandatory
policy/regulation that would systematically not be enforced, or
increases compliance with those requirements for which
non-compliance is widespread in the country/region, hence, it
results in an increased level of enforcement or compliance that
would not be reached in the absence of the PoA;
- Each CPA increases enforcement of the existing mandatory
policy/regulation to a level that would not be reached in the
absence of the PoA.
efficiency coefficient of 0.65 Kw/TR, is not a prevailing
practice in host country Singapore, and hence faces barrier due to
prevailing practice. This was validated by validation team in PoA
validation report. In accordance with the Para 4 of EB 60 Annex 26,
full additionality assessment is not required at CPA level, and
hence the assessment of additionality of CPA was done through the
eligibility conditions established by PoA. Four conditions CME has
identified to prove additionality of the CPA are found valid in
accordance with Prevailing practice Barrier, where CPA is
considered additional if - Design / implementation of CPA meets
energy efficiency criteria of 0.65 kW/TR and has in build system
for monitoring operational parameters at 1 Minute interval CPA is
additional. In case of Capricorn CPA, retrofit of Chiller plant
system is in accordance with this additionality requirement.
Validation team Verified project design documents and system
configurations to conclude that Capricorn building is capable of
achieving of desired Energy efficiency using 1minute internal
monitoring system.
- The implementation of CPA is a voluntary decision of the CPA
implementer as there is no regulatory requirement is prevailing in
host county at the time of implementation of this CPA for achieving
desired Energy Efficiency.
- Consistent achievement of energy efficiency in chiller plant
system by implementing such integrated design approach will help in
setting bench mark for enforcement of mandatory policy / regulation
in host Country Singapore.
Hence Validation team herewith concludes that the proposed Real
Case CPA Capricorn meets the additionality conditions prescribed in
the PoA DD.
(g) The PoA-specific requirements stipulated by the CME
including any conditions related to undertaking local stakeholder
consultations and environmental impact analysis; - Each CPA must
meet the EIA requirements as stated in the EIA Section C below.
Each CPA must also demonstrate and present records that equipment
replaced have been scrapped and independently verified. The local
stakeholder consultation has already been done at the PoA level and
so each CPA does
- CME has decided to conduct Stake holders consultation at PoA
level and it is clearly mentioned in the PoA-DD sections D.1, D.2

however CPA implementer has performed an EIA Voluntarily to
verify the effects of waste generation due to retrofit activity and
to establish relevant controls on waste disposal, purely for the
internal reference purpose CPA implementer dated in July 2011, and
the documented report was presented by the CME for validation
purpose.
- Old chillers have scrapped by independent
party and the scraped records are kept and retained. Validation
team has verified the scrap records of old chillers disposed by Sun
88 Engineering on 30/04/2011 for old chiller unit 2 & 5, on
21/05/2011 for unit 4 & 6 and on 04/06/2011 for unit 1 & 3
(Category 1 reference 16).
(h) Conditions to provide an affirmation that funding from Annex
I parties, if any, does not result in a diversion of official
development assistance; - Each CPA shall provide documentary
evidence for their source of funding for developing their
respective retrofit project.
There is no ODA available for the implementation of this CPA. It
was observed that the implementation of Chiller plant system at the
1st CPA location was funded internally by Ascendas Real Estate
Investment Trust (A-REIT).
(i) Where applicable, the requirements for the de-bundling
check, in case CPAs belong to small-scale (SSC) or micro-scale
project categories. - Each CPA shall undergo a de-bundling check as
prescribed under section A.4.4.1 (Operational and management plan
of the PoA-DD) and verified by the DOE prior to inclusion
CME has performed the assessment of debundling criteria for the
small scale CPA Capricorn by following Operational management plan.
Validation team confirmed that the small scale proposed CPA is not
a debundled CDM project of any large scale or micro scale CDM
project. Validation team used UNFCCC website and CD4 CDM database,
VCS data base to confirm that this CPA is not a registered
project.
(j) Condition in determining the difference in the loading
capacity of the chiller plant system in the baseline scenario as
compared to the project activity. - CPAs where cooling load
capacity changes significantly between the baseline and the project
activity, i.e. less than 10% or more than 50% as compared to the
baseline shall be excluded from this PoA in accordance with the
applied methodology AMS IIC Version 13.
Cooling requirement of Capricorn building in the baseline was
600-700TR and during the baseline scenario, there are 6 chillers (3
working + 3 standbys) of 300RT capacity were installed to achieve
baseline cooling load. In project scenario CME has installed 3
chillers (2 working + 1 standby) of 400RT capacity to achieve same
cooling load as baseline. Hence, it is concluded that there is no
change in cooling load from the baseline to the project scenario,
however, only configuration of chiller has been modified to suit
the operational requirement.
(k) Condition to determine if the CPA falls within the
requirement of an SSC-CPA. - Each CPA shall not generate an
electrical energy savings of more than 60GWh per annum post
retrofit.
Capricorn CPA will be resulting in an electrical energy saving
of 1,568,040 KWH, which is equivalent ot 1.568 GWh. This is
confirmed by the Validation Team using baseline monitoring report,
emission reduction spread sheet and technical specifications of
Project equipments
(l) Condition to determine if the CPA is eligible to be included
in the PoA if parts of the system
From the design details and equipment configuration it was
observed that the

are shut down and/or if there is no actual retrofit but only
optimization or calibration works performed to improve chiller
plant system efficiency. - Such CPAs will not be included.
Capricorn CPA implementation involves complete retrofit of the
chiller plant system. While carrying out retrofit of the chiller
plant system at Capricorn building CPA implementer has replace 06
Air cooled chillers of 300 TR capacity each with 03 Water cooled
new chillers of 400 TR capacity each. Configuration includes fully
automated operating system with no manual intervention. Hence it is
confirmed that the this CPA is eligible to include as a real case
CPA to the PoA.
(m) Conditions to determine if a CPA is eligible to be included
in the PoA based on Refrigerant Usage - CPAs switching from use of
older refrigerants
R11/R12/R22 to a non-CFC refrigerant such as R134a or R123 are
allowed.
- CPAs switching from any of R134a or R123 refrigerants to a new
refrigerant that is commercially available that is CFC-free and
which refrigerant has a lower GWP than any of R134a or R123
refrigerants in the future is allowed.
Baseline chiller plant system at Capricorn Building was using
R134a as a refrigerant gas, which is considered as CFC gas with GWP
value of 1300. During retrofit CPA implementer has installed water
cooled chillers using non CFC refrigerant gas i.e. R123 having
lower GWP, and hence this CPA is eligible for inclusion to the PoA.
This was confirmed by the validation team using Technical
specifications of baseline chillers and project chillers.
In conclusion, the validation team confirm that the Capricorn CP
complies with the eligibility criteria requirements of the PoA. 3.6
Baseline and monitoring methodology 3.6.1 General requirement
(76-77) The steps taken to assess the relevant information
contained in the CPA-DD against each applicability condition are
described below. The CPA is using approved methodology AMS II.C
version 13- Demand-side efficiency activities for specific
technologies. Applicability condition (1): This methodology
comprises activities that encourage the adoption of
energy-efficient equipment / appliance e.g., lamps, ballasts,
refrigerators, motors, fans, air conditioners, pumping systems) at
many sites. These technologies may replace existing equipment or be
installed at new sites. In the case of new facilities, the
determination of baseline scenario shall be as per the procedures
described in the general guidance to SSC methodologies under the
section Type II and III Greenfield projects (new facilities). The
aggregate energy savings by a single project may not exceed the
equivalent of 60 GWh per year for electrical end use energy
efficiency technologies. For fossil fuel end use energy efficient
technologies, the limit is 180 GWh thermal per year in fuel input.
This CPA involves retrofit / installation of energy-efficient water
cooled chiller with a specific energy consumption of 0.59kW/TR by
replacing existing energy inefficient air

cooled chiller with 1.391kW/TR in Capricorn Building in
Singapore and the CPA did not exceed energy saving of 60 GWh per
year for electrical end use energy efficiency technologies. (Note:
in this CPA, the energy saving is 1.62 GWh per annum) Applicability
condition (2): For each replaced appliance / equipment / system the
rated capacity or output or level of service (e.g light output,
water output, room temperature and comfort, the rated output
capacity of air-conditioners etc.) is not significantly smaller
(maximum 10%) than the baseline or significantly larger (maximum +
50%) than the baseline. The cooling load requirement of the
Capricorn building in the baseline was 600-700TR and during the
baseline scenario, there are 6 chillers (3 working + 3 standbys) of
300RT capacity were installed to achieve baseline cooling load. In
the project scenario CME has installed 3 chillers (2 working + 1
standby) of 400RT capacity to achieve same cooling load as
baseline. Hence, it is concluded that there is no change in cooling
load from the baseline to the project scenario; however, only
configuration of chiller has been modified to suit the operational
requirement. CME has performed baseline study to arrive at baseline
emission prior to retrofit. During this baseline study daily data
at 1 minute interval for period of one month was captured utilizing
EMS Software and presented to validation team during validation.
Validation team has validated the data of baseline study where
cooling load is determined as average 400 600 TR which is found
transparent. Based on this data the project equipment rated
capacity was verified and found that it is arrived on the basis of
the same cooling load. Applicability condition (3): If the energy
efficient equipment contains refrigerants, then the refrigerant
used in the project case shall be CFC free. Project emissions from
the baseline refrigerant and / or project refrigerants shall be
considered in accordance with the guidance of the Board (EB 34,
paragraph 17). This methodology credits emission reductions only
due to the reduction in electricity consumption from use of more
efficient equipment / appliance. As per the Paragraph 3 of AMS
II.C, Version 13, if the energy efficient equipment contains
refrigerants, then the refrigerant used in the project case shall
be CFC free. In accordance with this requirement CME has
established an eligibility condition (m) at PoA level for inclusion
of CPA, which clearly specifies that - CPAs switching from use of
older refrigerants R11/R12/R22 to a non-CFC refrigerant
such as R134a or R123 are allowed. - CPAs switching from any of
R134a or R123 refrigerants to a new refrigerant that is
commercially available that is CFC-free and which refrigerant
has a lower GWP than any of R134a or R123 refrigerants in the
future is allowed.
Paragraph 3 of AMS II.C, Version 13, further states that,
project emissions from the baseline refrigerant and/or project
refrigerants shall be considered in accordance with the guidance of
the Board (EB 34, paragraph 17), Validation Team verified the

17
requirement of EB 34, Paragraph 17, and found that gases
mentioned in the eligibility condition (m) are in accordance with
the list of gases in EB34, paragraph 17. This methodology credits
emission reductions only due to the reduction in electricity
consumption from use of more efficient equipment/appliances, this
indicates that the methodology is not applicable for the CPA's that
only replace chillers to credit emission reductions from
refrigerant gases due to differences in GWP of the said
refrigerants without replacing the entire chiller plant system to
reduce overall electrical energy (kWh) consumption will NOT be
allowed in accordance with the methodology AMS IIC Version 13. The
proposed PoA project and 1st CPA, involves reduction in electricity
consumption from use of more efficient Chiller Plant Systems, hence
it is concluded that the Approved methodology is applicable to the
proposed PoA and 1st CPA.. The validation team hereby confirms that
the selected baseline and monitoring methodology AMS II C(Version
13), is previously approved by the CDM Executive Board, and is
applicable to the project activity, which, complies with all the
applicability conditions therein. The DOE hereby confirms that, as
a result of the implementation of the proposed CDM project
activity, there are no greenhouse gas emissions occurring within
the proposed CDM project activity boundary, which are expected to
contribute more than 1% of the overall expected average annual
emissions reductions, which are not addressed by the applied
methodology. 3.6.2 Project boundary (80) As per the PoA definition
of project boundary, the geographical boundary of each CPA will be
determined by the location of the buildings where chiller systems
are installed. Hence, the project boundary for the real case CPA
Capricorn is the chiller plant located at 1 Science Park Road,
Science park II, Singapore117528. The main source of GHG from this
project will be CO2 from the electricity energy consumption drawn
from Singapore national grid. The validation team validated the
project boundary by: a) Site visit on 11-12 Oct 2011 to assess the
physical installation of chillers was done at the Capricorn
Building located at 1 Science Park Road, Science park II in
Singapore where air cooled chiller has been replaced by water
cooled chiller and found that it is complied to the PoA-DD project
boundary description. The CPA boundary includes the water cooled
chillers, cooling towers, pumps, electrical control system, header
pipes, Energy Monitoring and Control System installed in the
project. b) Following documentation related to the CPA have been
verified to confirm the boundary:

(Category 1 reference 8) Based on the above assessment, the
validation team hereby confirms that the identified boundary and
the selected sources and gases are justified for the project
activity. 3.6.3 Baseline identification (87-88) The steps taken to
assess the requirement given in paragraph 81 and 82 of the VVM are
described below: The CME has defined the baseline as according to
the methodology AMS II.C in the PoA-DD and detail assessment of
baseline identification has been described in PoA Validation report
section 3.6.3. Based on the PoA description of baseline
identification, CME has identified 3 alternatives and the most
plausible and relevant alternatives amongst them is continuation of
current situation i.e running inefficient chiller plant with
efficiency of 1.39kWh/TR.Hence, the baseline scenario identified
found in line with the requirement of approved methodology and the
PoA requirements. Since the baseline is energy displaced
electricity, CME has demonstrated the calculation of baseline
cooling load electricity consumption by multiplying average annual
cooling load (TRh) and efficiency (kWh/TRh) of chiller running in
baseline scenario which is further multiplied by the gird emission
factor to arrive at baseline emissions. Baseline study was
conducted by CME for the Capricorn Building from 18 Dec 2010 to 21
Jan 2011 with variable cooling load (Average ranging 400-600TR ).
Detailed documents on baseline with specific analysis on cooling
load, temperature changes, electricity consumption and running
hours are made available for the validation purpose. Based on these
documents the validation team confirms that cooling load, Dry bulb
temperature, humidity, chilled water temperatures (Return &
Supply) are transparently calculated and presented by CME at
1minute interval during baseline scenario. Based on the ASHRAE
guideline 14 Section5.2.2 the selection of Baseline period is found
justified and validation team further verified weather data for

ambient temperature and humidity. Data seen on
www.weatherunderground.com reveals that there are no significant
variations in the temperature and humidity (High and Low). The
Range of both parameters found reasonably steady throughout the
year and the range for temperature observed was 24-33 degree
Celsius (Average).
Based on the above assessment, the validation team hereby
confirms that: (a) All the assumptions and data used by the project
participants are listed in the CPA-DD, including their references
and sources; (b) All documentation used is relevant for
establishing the baseline scenario and correctly quoted and
interpreted in the CPA-DD; (c) Assumptions and data used in the
identification of the baseline scenario are justified
appropriately, supported by evidence and can be deemed reasonable;
(d) Relevant national and/or sectoral policies and circumstances
are considered and listed in the CPA-DD; (e) The approved baseline
methodology has been correctly applied to identify the most
reasonable baseline scenario and the identified baseline scenario
reasonably represents what would occur in the absence of the
proposed CDM project activity.
3.6.4 Algorithms and/or formulae used to determine emission
reductions (92-93) The steps taken to assess the requirement
outlined in paragraph 89 the VVM are described below: PP has used
the algorithm and formulae in line with the AMS II.C Version 13 and
corresponding tools to calculate emission factor stated in AMS I.D.
(EB63 Annex 19 methodological Tool Tool to calculate the emission
factor for an electricity system version 02.2.1. The CPA under the
PoA will gather data from:
1. Temperature for chilled water supply and return in baseline
and project activity 2. Rate of flow of chilled water 3. Electrical
energy demand in baseline and project activity Data will then
computed in the Energy Management Software to get the value 1)
chiller plant loading in TR( tons of refrigeration) over one month
period to get TR-H, 2) Electrical energy consumption in kW over
time one month period to get kW-H. 3) Calculate two values kW-H and
TR-H to get the energy efficiency in kW/TR.
Calculated the different in electrical energy consumption
between the baseline scenario and the project activity under the
same loading (TR) to get the energy saving in kWh. Since the
baseline is energy displaced electricity, CME has calculated
baseline cooling load electricity consumption by multiplying
average annual cooling load (TRh) and efficiency (kWh/TRh) of
chiller running in baseline scenario which is further multiplied by
the gird emission factor to arrive at baseline emissions. As the

additionality assessment is not required. Any CPA that meets the
eligibility criteria for its inclusion in the PoA bears the same
characteristics of the programme and face the same barriers. As
this CPA meets the eligibility criteria for inclusion into the PoA,
hence it is additional due to barrier of prevailing practice.

Further it was observed that CME has established specific
requirements, which each CPA should meet to demonstrate its
additionality. Validation team has verified these specific
requirements and found that the Capricorn CPA is meeting all
established requirements under Section E.5.1 of PoA DD, Version 05.
Validation details are given as below.
The baseline efficiency of the chiller plant system was higher
than 0.65kW/TR and/or an accurate monitoring system taking readings
at 1-minute intervals was not in place. A baseline energy audit was
conducted by an accredited ESCO. Yes Capricorn CPA was having Air
cooled Chillers system in the Baseline with Specific energy
efficiency norm of 0.139 KW/Tr and there was no monitoring system
at 1 minute interval available. Baseline audit was conducted by
accredited ESCO Trane Singapore Pte. Ltd. and the energy audit
report was made available to Validation team during for validation
purpose. Hence this requirement is fulfilled by the Capricorn
CPA.
The new Chiller Plant System Efficiency must achieve 0.65kW/TR
From the Project design and equipment specification it is confirmed
that newly installed Chiller plant system will achieve desired
Specific Energy consumption of 0.65 Kw/Tr or better. This has been
confirmed by the Acredited Esco and the supplier of the shilled
plant system i.e. TRANE Singapore Pte. Ltd. Hence this requirement
is fulfilled by the Capricorn CPA.
The typical CPA-DD must meet all the eligibility criteria set
out in section A.4.2.2 of the Registered PoA-DD Please refer
validation opinion Section 3.5 of this report above, Capricorn CPA
is meeting all eligibility criteria are established by the PoA,
hence this requirement is also fulfilled by the Capricorn CPA.
All data measured and monitored at 1-minute intervals: - CPA
implemented has made a provision of 1minute interval monitoring
system for monitoring and measuring Chiller plant system
operational data and parameters, hence it is conclude that this
requirement is fulfilled by the Capricorn CPA.
Design-approach must be consistent with ASHRAE Guidelines 14
From the Project design and specification documents its validated
that the new Chiller plant system installed at Capricorn Building
in Singapore is meeting the ASHRAE Guideline 14 and hence it is
concluded that Capricorn CPA is meeting this requirement.
Calibration & Measurement Accuracy must be consistent with
AHRI 550 Guidelines CPA implementer has made provision for carrying
out calibration of all relevant instruments as per AHRI 550
guidelines. This was verified using calibration certificates for
the project equipments which are meant for monitoring important

CME has described the monitored plan will monitor the following
data: 1. Temperature for chilled water supply and return 2. Rate of
flow of chilled water 3. Electrical energy demand for each and
every equipment within the chiller plant. 4. pi - Power consumption
of one chiller system baseline, which is the weighted
Average of baseline chiller system. This is monitored using
Baseline monitoring records for one month, which is a ex ante value
adequate metering facility is available and found it is hooked to
the EMS for data capturing purpose.
5. oi - Average annual operating hours of the Chiller plant in
Baseline as well as project scenario which is fixed value using
365x 24 = 8760 calculation, which is Ex ante value
6. ly - Average annual technical grid losses Technical grid loss
in Singapore is derived by using publically available data
published by Government of Singapore through EMA (Energy Market
Authority), which shows that the Technical Grid loss for Singapore
is defined as 3%, which is a ex ante value./Ref 22/
7. Qref PJ,y - Average annual quantity of refrigerant used in
the baseline This will be monitored by the CPA implementer.
The measurement of data will be at 1 minutes interval and data
will be stored in Energy Management Software (EMS). These data will
be computed to account for
1. Chiller plant loading ( TR-tons of refrigeration) over a
times series to obtain TR-H and
2. Electrical Energy Consumption in kW over a time series to
obtain kW-H. These two values (TR-H and kW-H) are computed
independently to determine the energy efficiency coefficient in
kW/TR. CME has defined flowing data and parameters in the
monitoring plan:
1. Power transducer to monitor the total power demand including
all chiller plant equipment to determine the electrical power
demand-baseline and power demand during project activity in kW.
2. Magnetic or ultrasonic flow meter to monitor the chilled
water flow produced by
the chiller plant in litres / second use in baseline and project
activity
3. Thermistor probe to monitor the chilled water supply and
return temperature in baseline in degree C.
4. Scrapped record from independent agency for old chillers and
its equipment. The
serial number of the scrapped chiller indicated in the scrap
record. CME then further defined each equipment flow meter, power
transducer and thermistor probe accuracy requirement base on
manufacturing specification and also will be accuracy requirement
set for calibration.

EMS software installed by the CME for monitoring operating
performance of the Chiller system has proven track record which
provides CME with the ability to centrally monitor, analyze, and
control chiller system to achieve desired energy-efficiency in the
chiller operations. Fundamentally, an EMS is an information and
control system used to optimize operations of end-use equipment
using a computer with application software, a custom-programmed
database, a communications network, and a series of control devices
and data sensors. An EMS operates chiller system equipment through
a control loop, which is comprised of controllers, sensors,
switches, relays, and end devices. Monitoring parameters included
for monitoring purpose are supply and return air temperature,
chilled water temperature, ambient temperature and humidity levels,
energy consumption etc. EMS designed to function effectively to
keep track of following operations with high reliability at 1
minute interval
Facility environmental conditioning Environmental system
monitoring and control Supervisory monitoring and control
Supervisory control strategies Optimum start/stop Duty cycling Load
shedding Load shifting Data analysis tools for energy
accounting
EMS also permits the evaluation of system performance, historic
data trends, and chiller system operation to make effective
decisions on methods that further optimize the system. Based on the
sectoral knowledge validation team confirms that the reliability of
EMS software established by CME to monitor Chiller plant
performance at one minute interval is good. Validation team has
verified the calibration report (Category 1 reference 18) for the
main equipment and scrap record (Category 1 reference 16) from
third party Sun 88 Engineer to dispose off the old chiller units.
Also during site visit at Capricorn building verified the EMS
system to capture the data of power and operating hours in order to
calculate the energy consumption. The validation team hereby
confirms that the project participants are able to implement the
monitoring plan. 3.9 Sustainable development (127) The host Partys
DNA confirmed the contribution of the project to the sustainable
development of the host Party. Refer to item 3.1 of this
report.

3.10 Local stakeholder consultation (130) The steps taken to
assess the adequacy of the local stakeholder consultation are
described below. Local stakeholder consultation is done at PoA
level. Hence, local stakeholder consultation at CPA level is not
applicable. 3.11 Environmental impacts (133) There is no regulatory
requirement from host party Singapore government to do an
environmental impact assessment for this replacement of high
efficiency chiller plant. CPA implementer however did carry out the
environment assessment on waste can be generated from the
replacement activities and defined all waste will be disposed off
according to NEA waste disposal regulation. Waste has been
identified will be metal scrap, refrigerant gas and oil and grease.
Validation team has verified all these wastes are disposed off as
per National Environment Agency regulation by licensed collector. 4
COMMENTS BY PARTIES, STAKEHOLDERS AND NGOS The CPA-DD using
methodology AMS II.C version 13 was webhosted on the UNFCCC for
global stakeholders comments as per CDM requirements. The project
was webhosted from 15 Dec 2011 to 13 Jan 2012. No comments were
received during the webhosting period. 5 VALIDATION OPINION Bureau
Veritas Certification has performed a validation of the CPA- Energy
Efficiency in Chiller Plant at the CAPRICORN Building located at 1
Science Park Road, The Capricorn, Singapore Science park II,
Singapore 117528 (CAPRICORN CPA) Project in Singapore. The
validation was performed on the basis of UNFCCC criteria and host
country criteria and also on the criteria given to provide for
consistent project operations, monitoring and reporting. The
validation consisted of the following three phases: i) a desk
review of the project design and the baseline and monitoring plan;
ii) follow-up interviews with project stakeholders; iii) the
resolution of outstanding issues and the issuance of the final
validation report and opinion. Project participant/s used the
latest tool for demonstration of the additionality. In line with
this tool, the CPA-DD provides analysis of barriers due to
prevailing practice to determine that the project activity itself
is not the baseline scenario. By synthetic description of the
project, the project is likely to result in reductions of GHG
emissions partially. An analysis of the barriers due to prevailing
practice demonstrates that the proposed project activity is not a
likely baseline scenario. Emission reductions

attributable to the project are hence additional to any that
would occur in the absence of the project activity. Given that the
project is implemented and maintained as designed, the project is
likely to achieve the estimated amount of 1,021 tCO2e emission
reductions per annum The review of the project design documentation
(version 3) and the subsequent follow-up interviews have provided
Bureau Veritas Certification with sufficient evidence to determine
the fulfilment of stated criteria. In our opinion, the project
correctly applies and meets the relevant UNFCCC requirements for
the CDM and the relevant host country criteria. Bureau Veritas
Certification thus requests registration of CPA- Energy Efficiency
in Chiller Plant at the CAPRICORN Building located at 1 Science
Park Road, The Capricorn, Singapore Science park II, Singapore
117528 (CAPRICORN CPA) as CDM Programme of Activities.
